@seuros I'm confused with what values these should be set to. There are some various different users like service_unit_user, systemctl_user (which defaults to a boolean value?), sidekiq_lingering_user, and maybe more I haven't found yet?

The service_unit_user was introduced to create a unified approach for defining the service unit user across all the Capistrano gems. We could adopt it now and mirror it in the Puma gem as well for consistency.
Regarding the lingering concept, it’s designed to allow the systemd file to be located in the user’s home directory. This is particularly useful for deployments where the user doesn’t have sudo access or the ability to write to the systemd folder.
I appreciate your help btw.

Sorry if I don't understand 100%, but would we replace systemctl_user with service_unit_user? At the bottom of the template there is also sidekiq_systemctl_user which seems to set WantedBy based on if that is :system or not. This seems like it's supposed to correlate in some capacity with the highlighted section here where I'm trying to determine what User and Group should be.
Right now there isn't any comments or documentation on all of these possible configuration options so it's a bit confusing cause there are so many "user" related ones. If you could add all the possible options to readme or something, that would be very helpful.
